Summary: A most excellent computer
Comment: I just purchased my first Apple product in over 20 years - a brand new "old" model (non new unibody) MacBook Pro 15 inch which was on sale with rebates, as Apple is flushing inventory to make room for their new unibody models. My computer was the 15 inch version, 2.5GHz, 250GB Hard Drive, NVidia 8600 512k graphics, with the Glossy screen and 2GB of Ram. I did upgrade the RAM to 4GB for a grand total of $60 and 5 minutes of my time.
This computer is MARVELOUS. It is unlike any other laptop I have ever seen in so many ways. No fans to over heat under the case - you can sit this laptop on your - lap - without worry. Extremely thin design. The body is made of aluminum and is apparently used as some type of heat sink. Screen is CRYSTAL clear. Speed is ASTOUNDING for such a small laptop - equal to one of our servers at work.
I installed Parallels virtualization software, and installed my existing version of Windows XP Professional and Office 2007 on it. It boots this virtualized machine and runs office FASTER than my previous DELL which had a 1.8 GHz Dual core processor, running them natively. And this from within the Mac OS 10.5 Leopard operating system.
I also purchased a pair for Shure SE310 earphones for AMAZING listening enjoyment, a Corsair 32GB USB Flash Drive, and a Western Digital My Passport Studio 400GB external hard drive for high speed Firewire 800 time machine backups and auxillary storage. All of which worked perfectly right out of the box. Just plug in and go.
If I had to make ANY complaints (when I don't really have anything to complain about), I would mention only 2 things. First the Airport built in Lan adapter seems to have somewhat weak reception. I am sitting in my living room about 12 feet away from my wireless hub as I type this - and I am receiving only about 60% signal strength. This is sub standard when compared to my Dell Laptop which would show well over 95% in this same position. The other thing I notice compared to my dell is that the built in external speakers are - underpowered - to say the least. Full volume on this computer would be equal to less than half volume on the Dell. Neither of these is a large issue. The airport extreme card does seem to allow me to move all over the house without losing signal - it just seems to fall off from strong to medium rather quickly. From the external speaker point of view - buy a set of Shure SE310 earphones, or maybe a set of Klipsch Image X10's if you prefer - and you will never want to listen to external speakers again anyway.
All in all - a 5 star computer. Excellent product Apple! Can't wait for you to price cut the 17 inch models with the release of the 17 inch unibody at Macworld. I may become a 2 Macbook customer - albeit with your older discounted models.
Cheers!

Summary: perfect laptop?YES!!!!!!
Comment: I'm doing this review on the apple macbook pro 15.4inch laptop 2.5ghz,250gb hd,2gb ram
i'm broken this review down into 8parts about pros and i'll try to think about some cons along the way.
1.)performance-this computer is just as fast as a ferrari compared to my dell desktop that was bought in '01.hmm,did i say ferrari i meant space shuttle, this laptop's graphics card has 4x more r.a.m. than the dell desktop.i use it for hi def movie editing,call of duty 4(maxed out!),making a photo album in iphoto and school work.your thinking one at a time,hahahahahaha,this laptop does everything at the same time...and spaces makes it easier..thanks apple for leopard the world's most stable and best operating system.
2.)screen-as you must know the screen is 15.4inches of pure delight,the l.e.d.'s(light emmiting diodes) make the screen pop out to get you.when i close the lid for it to sleep it goes to sleep instantly,and when i'm ready to use it,i just pop the lid and voila it's up and ready for another day's work.although the screen is slightly better in the new unibody one's,there is alot of reflection in direct sun and to have a computer and worry about reflection is the last thing i wana do.
3.)keyboard-talk about super sexy.i don't know about other people but i just love the keyboard and i'll get to the backlit part soon.the keys are silver and crisp.i love how it feels so solid and how it blends in with the whole elegant design of this computer.now the backlit,personally i think most people buy it cuz you need to use it a dark environment but i loved it for eye-candy.although,mostimes i needed it, i really love how it looks and i travel alot so in the night on those planes it's nice.and if you want someone to look at your laptop on those planes,trust me take this baby out and it will work it's majic.At a library,people watch you,watch your laptop and watch you again...it's really good.
4.)trackpad and button-the trackpad is good.just enough friction.not much to say about it and the button is really easy cuz although it looks really hard to click on it,lol,it actually isn't.
5.)battery life-okay,i love this battery life cuz i squeezed 3hours and 49minutes out of hit on heavy usage and screen full brightness.so about 4- 4and one half hours on average usage.it does suprisingly satisfy me on 9hour trips to england from where i am.i play call of duty on the planes and i squeeze about 4hours out of this,so i am satisfied...battery life is not a thing to worry about.
6.)the isight camera is surprisingly clear,cuz i chat with my friends regularly and they ask me where i got my webcam and i laugh at them...so no worries here.
7.)the heat-i know people who have been rerading alot of reviews on it hear the heat situation.these models don't get as hot on heavy usage...don't put it on your lap though..it won't feel to nice if you put it on your lap though.but on average usage it's quite fine.*only con*
8.)graphics card-the nvidia geforce 8600gt with 512mb of ram is glorious.i can play call of duty 4modern warfare maxed out and crysis on high with no glitches and this is a laptop so this rocks
Mac vs pc
you might notice that most windows laptops have 4gb ram and 320gbhd and 2.0ghz and cost $800 and this laptop has 2.5ghz,2gb ram and 250gb hd and cost $1650 is because i heard the ram in macs compared to pc laptops are 2 and one half times better.so if your mac has 2gb ram you get 5gb and indows have like 1.75 ram.
but in the end and this will hopefully always be that mac is way better than windows especially vista...this is my word,if you dont want to buy a mac fine but just buy xp dont buy vista.but leopard rocks =]

Summary: Amazing!!!!! My dream laptop.
Comment: I got this laptop for Christmas and have loved ever since! I came from a PC and probably will never go back to one. You really can't explain to someone what the difference is between a mac and a PC. My dad always used to ask me why a mac not a pc? and I really didn't have an answer for him. But now that i have one he finally sees why mac is so cool. Now that i have the macbook pro in my house my dad wants to steal it from me and wants one! The Macbook Pro is the coolest computer or laptop ever! I love mine.... you should have the same oportunity.

The latest Intel processor, a bigger hard drive, plenty of memory, and even more new features all fit inside just one liberating inch. The MacBook Pro has the performance, power, and connectivity of a desktop computer. Without the desk part.
